This is a reorder for me, and I got them on a promo price of $1.99—such a great deal! They make amazing Som Tum (papaya salad), and you can also use them for Thai spicy salads or sour curry. The papayas look beautiful with nice skin. They are fresh, green, firm, and crunchy, not wrinkled or soft at all. Extremely worth it!"

PhuongNguyen
Very disappointed. Figurative of the the 3 strawberry papaya order was very mashed. Even before cutting it open the papaya feels hallow to the touch. When cut it open there is no way to serve it in slices It has to be used in a smoothie, which was not the reason I purchased the papaya. The intention was to cut them into slices and served to the family. The staff who packed must have dropped it multiple times for it to feel hallow in 3 places and became almost mushy after cutting. WEE should train their staff to replace the product if the product is dropped and deformed.
